Effect of Exercise on Children.


New YORK, Aug 20.-City children are apt to
be undersized. They strike me as microscopic
frequently. Ask countryman used to lads
and lasses brought up on the farm the age OF
the next boy he passes the pavements, and
three chances in four measuring the height and
shoulder girth with his eve, he will put it two or
three years lower than it IS The fourteen
year-old doesn't look above eleven to him,
nor the fifteen year old as if he had entered bis
teens got hold of some figures the other day
which show that these things need not be as
they are. DR.. Anderson, who is we'll known in
connection with the Physical Education Associ-
alton, has compared the height and weight OF
$50 girls, pupils of q Brooklyn school where reg
uar gymnasium exercise is insisted upon, with
similar figures for ten thousand Boston school
girls taken at random The results as fol.
lows:

A FATAL NIGHTMARE.
Charlie Morris Has a Dream that Totally
Paralyzes His Heart-A Pathetic Death.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 20.-It was strangely
pathetic death that fourteen-year-old Charlie
Morris met early last Friday morning in his
home, in the rear of No. 1927 Vine street.
Waking for instant, he fell dead in his faith
er's arms overpowered by the terror of a night
mare.
Three weeks ago the lad awoke the family in
the middle Of the night by screaming aloud in
his sleep. When his mother ran to his bedside
he said that he had some terrible thing.
but could not tell just what it was Little was
thought of this at the time. as it was supposed
that he had been eating green fruit or was op
q few DAYS ago he had a similar visitation and
awoke trembling in every muscle, it was thought
best to have some one sleep with him as the best
means of preventing the attacks.
Charles father accordingly arranged te be
his companion every night When the lad re-
turned On Wednesday evening from his work at
he was cheerful and apparently in the best of
health. He had never complained. having been
exceptionally healthy from his birth. After eat
Ing light supper the boy went to bed and was
followed soon after by his father.
1t was o'clock in the morning when the lat
ter was awakened by the voice of his boy calling

clutching his wrist. Then the boy fell over as
If in faint. The father took him in his arms
and carried him down stairs The eyes were
closed. but the body warm and DR.. A. S.
Reynolds. of No. 1916 Vine street. was sum-
moned. When he came he at once announced
that Charlie was dead. The shock of the night
mare had killed him instantly.
The coroner was notified later in the day, and
postmortem examination of the body
made by DR.. Stewart, assisted by DR.. Reynolds.
About the heart was found a large clot OF blood
caused by paralysis, due to fright; otherwise
that organ and the brain and stomach were
found to be in healthy condition, and no cause
was discovered to show what brought on the
nightmare. The case. it is believed, will az
tract wide attention in medical circles.
